A propos de cet article

Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. Large Format [Approximately 9.25 inches by 12.25 inches. x, [2], 148 p. Illustrated endpaper. Illustrations (mostly in color). Chronology/ Glossary. Index.

The Laboratory s name comes from its origins in World War II, but APL s major strengths are systems engineering and technology application. APL conducts programs in fundamental and applied research; exploratory and advanced development; test and evaluation; and systems engineering and integration. In 1965, the US Army contracted with APL to develop and implement a test and evaluation program for the Pershing missile systems. APL identified problem areas and improved the performance and survivability of the Pershing systems.…
